Firefox Community Forum

Recently any search I do via Firefox tab is automatically taken over by Yahoo and I'm not aware I ever sanctioned this and I don't want this to happen as normally Google was doing the searches. Thank you

I used to find my user names and passwords easily on Firefox under "Preferences" and then I clicked on "Passwords". I no longer can find this information. Were my passwords moved or eliminated?

Hello,

Noticed a random problem over the last few months with Firefox currently running Mac OS 13.7.8 and Firefox 153. Problem started a few version back with Firefox.

I use gmail while viewing emails in FF I will click a link, tab to review information and I receive ---

Looks like there is a problem with this site 400 bad request. site could be unavailable or busy try again later.

I then proceed to another browser on the machine - Duck Duck, Chrome, Safari and ever browser connects fine, so the problem lies strictly with Firefox as there is no problem with the connection.

I saw a few items to check on the internet but none resolve the annoying issue.

Can anyone advise a solution before I decide to move to another operable browser.

Thanks, Bob

For some scrollables, v153 doesn't respect the Mac OS setting to hide scrollbars unless scrolling on page load. If that OS setting is adjusted after the page is loaded, then the page respects it again until refresh, so there's apparently some sort of race condition going on where it's not reading the setting in time before the page loads?

This is not a problem in v152. I downgraded back to v152 and it's working again.

Following is what I see on the screen:

I realized that all the bookmarks I had saved for years are now missing when I search using the browser. I did find them in other locations, but how can I see specific bookmarks that are missing?

VPN has been working like a charm...today I go in circles...it asks me to sign in...ok...screen says go to open screen and open VPN...I click there but VPN takes me back to the original screen coming up first time today.

I am a physician. When I get the chance between patients, I will try to finish some of the paperwork generated by the office visits. So, at my desk, I have 2 screens. One that is supposed to show me when a patient is ready to be seen or if I have more time for paperwork. Unfortunately, the window with the "office flow" does not seem to refresh as often as needed. Is there a way to set Firefox to refresh only that window on a more frequent basis, say every minute. I would be working in a different window leaving the "office flow" up on the other monitor.

Hello,

I have a new laptop and I am trying to recover my old Firefox data. On my previous laptop, I had Firefox bookmarks, saved passwords, browsing history, and other browser data. None of this information has appeared on my new laptop.

I have also forgotten the password for my Mozilla account. I tried to recover the account, but my bookmarks and other data are still missing.

Could you please explain how I can safely restore my bookmarks and saved login information?

My old laptop is [still available / no longer available]. The new laptop uses [Windows/macOS/Linux].

Thank you for your help.

On some forums - not this one - I am unable to complete the relevant text box to compose a reply. EG the Devon forum: https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/sync-between-mac-and-ipad-works-and-iphone-not-working/87390/7 No text appears and the text box is completely inoperative. The problem is not confined to that site, but I have experienced similar on other Forums.

I use Ublock Origin which I thought might be causing a problem but disabling it has no effect, neither does disabling Little Snitch. As a result I've concluded this is probably caused by something in my settings but I don't know which or where to look.

Any suggestions appreciated.
